“Un fost campion de rodeo, care a ajuns să-şi agonisească băutura prin reclame, denunţă public traumatizarea unui armăsar pursînge înregimentat şi el publicităţii. O ziaristă îi urmează revolta. Întoarcerea la natură a unui cowboy ca posibilitate a evadării din lumea profitului.” (Dicţionar universal de filme, 2002)

Roger Ebert: „Both Redford and Fonda have identified themselves with a lot of the issues in this movie (which are – I have a list right here – the evils of corporate conglomeratism, the preservation of our wild lands, respect for animals, the phoniness of commercialism, the pack instinct of TV journalism, and nutritious breakfasts). But although this is a movie filled with messages, it’s not a message movie. The characters and plot seem to tap-dance past the serious stuff and concentrate on the human relationships.”
